I have been on Cit for 4 days & feel really wierd. Sometimes I'm spaced out & sometimes I feel wired & hyper ( not in a nice way) I feel sick & cant face food. From whaat I have read, people tell you to stick with it, but I dont know if I can work like this.I feel like I'm looking through a window t myself & sometimes feel I'm in slow motion.
You must feel bad if you have felt like this for 4 weeks. Do you sleep?
Take care

hi
i have days were i can hardly sleep and others were thats all i do. its very hard for me at the min as i can not plan any day to day things n have to rely on other people to do other stuff for me.
let me no if ur feeling any better.
hopefully the side affects should go soon for me.
but ive had a constant head ache for 5days now.
have u had any head aches?

I'm on day 8 now, & no sign of symptoms subsiding. I could not go to work yesterday or today. I just couldnt face it. Mind you that was building up before I started the Citrolopram. I have not had headaches, but I have felt very paniky on occasions. I dont know if its the Cit or the depression. I'm going to the doctors again today to see what he thinks. Hope you are doing ok.
p.s my name was gymbunny before but it wont let me log in as that.

good luck to anyone starting out fingers crossed. if you can not sleep then just think of the rest of us as we are awake too.

I'm back at the doctors tomorrow as he wants to see me every week at the moment. I haven't managed to get to work yet, & haver now had a week off. I just cant face it at all.
Hope ypou, are all doing ok.

I have been on it nearly 8 weeks, at week 3 i was thinking they were not working so went to doc to ask for higher dose but he insisted 20mg was enough. At week 5 i was thinking about switching/going back to doctors but then waited. Week 6 i started to feel better, not great but not crying and less 'low, dark moods'. Then last week I had a week of long days & wasnt getting enough sleep and forgot to take the medication one day, and this seems to have thrown me out of sync again. I am tempted to start taking 30mg but I dont want to annoy the doctor by doing it without his permission.
But anyhow the side effects do pass, try not to focus on them and think about the longer term benefit you are trying to achieve.
